[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In England people wear ties that signify what university they went to, please. The ties are also coded so only people who know know.

When I was a child, my dad wouldn’t let me put a school decal on our car, because he thought it looked like bragging. Now I let my kids, because who cares what triggers adult strangers with confidence issues.[/quote]

Seriously.  I really love when the posters show up acting like this is a US-only thing.  Sure, maybe people in the UK don't use bumper stickers, but they sure as heck have ways of broadcasting their membership in the elite.  You want to see elitism in education, try France!    Basically every European country has a separate elite track for education and they have their subtle ways of telling everyone else they're in it.  [/quote]

I guess I just appreciate the subtlety then lol if you're going to be an elitist snob about your group find a better way to signal it than a bumper sticker [/quote]

People do. It's just so subtle you don't even know to know about it.

You don't care, nor do they. But they know that they don't want to know you.[/quote]

What're the most subtle signals you think?

I'm probably not noticing because I don't run in those circles but I'm always ready to learn something new.[/quote]

Well now if they wanted you to know, they'd create car decals. But if you knew to look, you'd recognize colors, symbols, numbers, and jewelry.

Car decals are fun for kids. [/quote]
